25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Dang Nguyen conducted an unannounced Case Management - Incident visit. LPA was welcomed by, identified himself to, and discussed the purpose of the visit with Assistant Program Manager Blanca Vasquez.
Today's visit was in response to an LIC624 Incident Report, which Licensee self-submitted to the CCLD San Diego Regional Office (received on 05/08/2024). According to the LIC624: On 05/07/2024 around 1:55 PM, Client #1 (C1) tripped over the foot of a peer while walking. [See LIC 811 Confidential Names List for a description of C1.] C1 fell forward to the ground, sustaining a chipped tooth and a small laceration on the crown of their head just above the forehead.
During today’s visit, LPA performed a brief facility tour / welfare check on C1, verifying that they were alert, active, and free of pain, and that the laceration on top of their head was closed and healing. LPA also collected copies of and reviewed pertinent care, medical, and hospital records, and interviewed relevant day program staff.
Records and interviews showed: Licensee’s staff immediately responded to C1 after they fell. Simple pressure with gauze and antibiotic ointment was enough to stop the light bleeding from C1’s laceration. At no point did C1 lose consciousness or alertness. Staff timely notified C1’s conservator, who arrived shortly after around 2:10 PM to pick up C1 and transport them to a nearby hospital emergency room (ER) for further evaluation. According to hospital records: CT scans were performed on C1’s head and spine, which showed no fracture or acute injury beyond the above-mentioned laceration, which itself did not require stitches or staples.
